Can I add a key to the system keyboard in iOS?

I need to add a custom key to the iOS system keyboard without requiring a jailbreak. For example, when I go into any app, I want my custom key to show up and then have it launch a view from my app.

I've seen tons of examples that do things like this from a custom UITextView, but nothing that modifies the keyboard for all apps.

You can't but how about adding a UIToolBar on top of your keyboard?

No. Apple has iOS pretty locked down. Your app is pretty much in its own sandbox with a few outlets to the rest of the system.

You also can't create a custom keyboard like Android.
